We can undoubtedly say that through the use of modern methodologies, appropriate resources, and a spirit of cooperation, the valiant effort to recover all useful information from the destroyed site of Bramiana has been fully successful. The volume thus stands as an indispensable model for future research that will hopefully soon fill the large gaps that still limit our knowledge of the minor sites of Bronze Age Crete.
Puglisi, Dario, American Journal of Archaeology, January 2025, vol. 129, no. 1

". . . throws new light on the interactions and complex dynamics that characterised several regions of Crete (south coast, Mirabello, east Crete) over a large timespan (EM I-LM IB) through the combination of various analytical methods, such as the investigation of excavation data, petrography, typo-stylistic analysis, and landscape archaeology. Finally, it proves the enormous potential of employing large-scale petrographic analysis, still too often considered as an auxiliary-method; and demonstrates how this approach has provided a great deal of new knowledge from an entirely destroyed small rural site."
